NEW Blackstar 10th Anniversary Edition Valve Combos

In celebration of 10 years of glorious Blackstar tone, three new 10W single-ended valve amplifiers have been developed drawing on the sound and innovation of iconic Blackstar lines - Artisan, Artist and Series One.

Overview

Each product is honed for home and studio use and has a wealth of features and a super cool retro look. With a limited run of only 1,000 pieces of each model worldwide, and a certificate of authentication in each model, these amps are certain to be collector’s items in the future.

The Artisan 10 AE is a low gain, classic crunch amp that uses an EL34 in the power amplifier for superlative, warm British crunch. In this model we have included a hot pre-amp Boost for authentic classic rock / indie rhythm playing and vocal Billy Gibbons inspired leads.

The Artist 10 AE deploys a 6L6 output valve to give this amp a characteristically bright clean sound and a hot lead tone. The lead sounds are enhanced by a built-in overdrive circuit inspired by our HT-Drive pedal which will take you from dynamic crunch to singing, smooth legato.

Series One 10 AE driven by the mighty KT-88. Inspired by the now legendary S1-200 this product benefits from the extra headroom of the KT-88, resulting in dynamic modern cleans and tight high-gain overdrive. In addition the patented ISF control gives access to more distortion exibility than any other single-ended valve amplifier on the market.

These three stunning combos will be arriving in stores in November 2017.
